ALGORITHM DESIGN AND

[PROGRAMMING
LIFECYCLE]
 Programming Cycle (SDLC/PDLC)
 Developing algorithm (Flowchart; Pseudocode)
 Control Structure (Sequential; Selection; Repetition)
PROGRAMMING CYCLE
- A series of step/sequence
for developing a software
and products
Software/Program Development Life Cycle
(SDLC/PDLC)
Development of Algorithm
• Computer algorithm – an order sequence of instructions for solving
problem.
• Basic technique used to get the job done.

Example: The taxi algorithm


1. Go to the taxi stand.
2. Get in a taxi.
3. Give the driver my address.

Types of Algorithm in Computer
Programming
Pseudocode
An artificial and informal language that help programmers develop
algorithm.

Flowchart
Diagrammatic representation of an algorithm
Pseudocode
Features Examples:
 Cannot understand by Calculate the area of rectangular.
computer. BEGIN
INPUT & DECLARE length
 Jot down ideas using human- INPUT & DECLARE width
CALCULATE area = width * length
readable language – no worry DISPLAY area
syntax error. END

 Not standardized; every


program has its own version.

 Capitalized main key-function.


Flowchart
Features

 Used standardized
symbols.

 Can draw by hand or


word processor.

 Different symbols are


used for different states
in flowchart.
Examples of Flowchart
Example 1: Add two numbers entered Example 2: Find all the roots of a
quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0.
by user.
Control Structure
 Control Structures – Provide alternatives to sequential program execution and
are used to alter the sequential flow of execution.
 Most common control structures are:
Repetition/
Looping/

EXAMPLE 1
A group of programmer has been assigned to make a simple sequential
program to calculate BMI index for users.

a) List the Input, Process and Output.


b) Create flowchart & pseudocode of the above situation.
c) Write a program based on the flowchart using Python language.

BMI = weight / height2


START #This program is to calculate BMI index

print (“This is BMI Calculator”)


DECLARE float
berat,tinggi,bmi #Declaring variable & gathering input
weight = float (input(“Enter Your Weight: ”))
height = float (input(“Enter Your Height in meter: ”))
INPUT berat, tinggi

#Calculating BMI (Process)


CALCULATE bmi = weight / (height * height)
bmi=berat/(tinggi * tinggi)

#DISPLAY BMI output


DISPLAY bmi print (“Your BMI is ”, bmi)
